This report develops a methodology for the impact of railroad abandonment on existing highways and bridges and application
of the procedure to two case studies in Indiana. The indicated effects are in increased deterioration of some pavements and
hence a required additional amount of resurfacing material and in increased emphasis on replacement of inadequate bridges
and traffic congestion in some areas. A dollar effect of the additional resurfacing is calculated for the two case studies
and emphasizes increased financial needs which railroad abandonment will have on rural highways in Indiana
